The Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association estimates that a July 9th Colorado Springs hailstorm will result in more than 9,000 claims totaling $28.2 million in insured damage. This estimate includes approximately 5,600 auto claims and an additional 3,400 homeowner claims. This is an early estimate that may change as more of the claims the property/casualty industry continue to come in. 

Some companies have brought in special catastrophe teams and have set up drive up claims centers to help speed up the settlement process. "Unfortunately the damaging hail that we're seeing in Colorado this year is more on track with what we generally expect during a typical Colorado summer," said Carole Walker, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association.
